Without autotrophs, there would be nothing for herbivorous or omnivorous animals to eat, and without herbivorous or omnivorous animals, there would be nothing for carnivorous animals to eat.

How man became a food producer from a food gatherer?
The transition from hunting & gathering to farming happened at different times in different areas & was often a gradual shift. Many cultures moved from simply hunting to herding, but still maintained nomadic lifestyles, migrating with their herds. Some of the Sami people of Northern Scandinavia still herd reindeer in a traditional, semi-nomadic way.
Cultivating the land began in the Middle East about 12000 years ago & spread from there. Initially, people grew a very limited variety of crops (figs being one of the earliest plants to be farmed) & they continued to hunt & gather as well.
